 Attention! Two men are spotted at the north crossing In the car and away the secret agents go to make sure the White Train carrying several H-Bombs would safely pass through Alliance If one was beginning to feel that 1984-85 seemed to be nothing but cold and deadly bloodshed, one was not looking hard enough. Many times it was the terrible things in life that made the headlines, and the good deeds went unnoticed or unremembered. This past year the people of Ethiopia were starving, no matter how many aids were given. When the members of singing groups Wham , Duran Duran and several other English bands got together, what resulted was a very special song for a very special cause. Band Aid produced a song called Do They Know It's Christmas? The proceeds from the song went to help the starting people in Ethiopia, and once again the world showed its concern for its people. Baby Fae Dies After Baboon Heart Gives Out Dealing with loss was not uncommon this year. Baby Fae was born premature and after complications set in, her heart soon gave out. It was then modern technology set in, offering the baby a chance at a new life. While the child was given a heart of a baboon, the world awaited anxiously. For awhile the situation looked good, but as Baby Fae's body began to reject the heart, she grew worse and finally died. William Schrader Clings to Life And yet there was another, who in turn needed a better heart. William Schrader finally agreed to accept an artificial heart after suffering a heart attack. With a good attitude, he entered surgery, taking a risk but yet holding all his courage before him. It was so risky, since it had only been tried once before ... on William Clark. The odds were against him and he knew he had a long road ahead of him. Long Time Movie Star Passes Away The entertainment world saw the loss of Richard Burton. Burton starred in such films as: Wild Geese , Cleopatra , Where Eagles Dare , and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Current Events 5

Another Successful Homecoming Troy Meyer, the newest male cheerleader, is cheering for an Alliance victory over Cordon. Enjoying their final Homecoming, seniors Tammy Schnell and Paul Hoffman dance the night away. Once again AHS was filled with busy workers decorating floats, halls, and the gym. Football and volleyball players practiced extra hard, the band polished up their act and the dance was set. Through spirit week, however, student participation seemed to lag a little, making new and interesting costumes and ideas sparce. Making up for the lost spirit in dress up days were the fun and innovative ideas of Powder Puff Football, stick horse races, an all-male fashion review and a jersey auction. At the end of the week, streamers lay ripped on the floor, the football and volleyball players returned to practice, and student life returned pretty much back to normal. All that was left to remind students of their unique week was the memories ... and pictures. Touchdown!!! Alliance Bulldogs romp all over the Cordon Broncs for another successful Homecoming game Homecoming 7
